  1. Here in South Africa every single part of the plant is illegal. Grows are quite well protected and I think it's unlikely that you would come across any commercial grows without some connections and speaking a native African language. At the moment Nguni seeds is one of the few seedbanks working with more native African Strains.
  2. Haha, nah I think I'll go towards web design.
  3. Hello everyone, I have some good news and some bad news today. The good news is these little ones look good on Day 10. The bad news however is that I am soon to be unemployed. Got my notice today, "down scaling". No bad feelings there, I just need to come up with a new source of income.
  4. Apologies for that folks, doesn't make sense to me either. I think I was aiming for something like this, considering height is a limitation. They're back on 18/4
  5. Day 9 These little ones seem to be doing great. Switched the lighting to 12/12 just to sex them asap. Once I know the sexes, I can clone some off a female and veg them up while flowering the seed females.
  6. Day 8 I found another light lying around. Watered my little ones.
  7. That looks like really hectic nute burn or lock out. I am just going with a gut feel. Check some of this out and try to figure it out? http://www.420sa.co.za/index.php/topic,544.msg4313.html#new
  8. Please read the Rules, we cannot sell or trade any illegal substances. I would suggest that you hang around, learn to grow and grow and make your own oil.
  9. Greetings everyone I've started up my first grow in quite a while. I am busy using 2 unknown beans, the label seems to have vanished, they could be the last beans left from my seed collection. Not sure myself, I'll have to wait and see what they look like. I germed the seeds in rockwool. Then I decided to go for coco & perlite instead, so I just transplanted them into some 1l pots. I am running 2 x 20w Daylight CFL's I had lying around. I am hoping I have 5min free this week at work to pay for a 250w HPS, they should flourish under those conditions. I'm running GHE Nutes but have yet to start feeding them. Day 0 Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 - Transplanted Day 7 Today we are on Day 8, I am going to check on them in the next hour or so.
  10. I'm loving the temps for growing, the only downside is I can't grow outdoors. I suppose no season is perfect after all.
  11. Ah fuck man. I have been seeing some mixed results.
  12. A HPS is looking like a plan at the moment. Contacted a mate of mine last night and he's said he can sort me out a 250w setup for around R600 which is brilliant. He's also got some spare genetics from BC Depot so we should have a killer grow on the way. My plan is to have this setup runnning constantly. With winter I doubt I'll have to many worries with heat. I can always make a cooled hood and take it from there. Now just to get my damn growbox in order and get all my hydro stuff.
  13. Did some searching on the web, I can sort out a 250w setup from hydroponic.co.zam, but it would cost around 2k. I am on quite the budget and I have gained a slightly larger grow box. I plan on getting all my hydro equipment from Hydroponic considering they are here in Durbanville. Lights I will try to get at Eagle lighting tomorrow.
  14. That would be ideal but I have no clue where to find a 250w setup. I was quite keen on a 150w but I couldn't find a ballast anywhere. I'd imagine I may need a cool tube for it or at least a cooled hood.
  15. Greetings fellow horticultural enthusiasts Tomorrow I will finally be moving to a house that allows for a grow setup. It has been far too long since I've been enjoying my own harvest. Here's what I've got so far: - 1 x (450mm x 450mm x 900mm) grow box - Far too many ideas. Here's what I still need before anything can happen: - 2 or 3 120 mm PC Fans - A total of at least 200w in 2700k CFL's - All the wiring and electronics. My goal is simple. I medicate on about 1g a day, some days far less while other days a lot more (we all have those mates who never bring bud to a meet). I need around 90g per 12-week cycle, this setup will be perpetual, I am working on a dedicated Veg box too, but that will fall in place at a later stage. I am seriously considering either DWC or Hempy as a means of growing, Hempy seems like the cheapest hydro route. I have yet to decide on nutes, either ECG or Nutriplex. This whole grow is on quite the budget too, I need to be as cost efficennt as I can be. Here's a CAD rendering of what my finished product should look like, without the lights that is. Things I still need to figure out: Lighting configuration, I am really getting tired of looking for high wattage CFL's in 2700k, not a single retail store I have been to this weekend had any. I am considering buying 10 x 23w Warm White CFL's or I could order a single 200W online. I am a bit reluctant to order any parts online. Which strains I want to grow, I had to chuck my seed collection a year or so ago. It is time for me to buy some again, I'm thinking of some sativa dominant hybrids and maybe a few solid old-school indicas. What I will do for odor control.

    The match against NZ almost brought me to tears, it was a real pity.
  17. I bought them here (https://btl.co.za/product/zero-transparent-kingsize/) They are more of a novelty though, a bit difficult to roll with and a bit strange burning.
  18. Its about 1.3m tall and 60cm wide. Bucket purely for stealth. I've seen a number of folks in the states do it.
  19. Howdy folks Here's something I've been toying with. I've just made a few rough sketches but will create something in a CAD to get the finer details sorted. Let me know what you guys think. Overall grow bucket DIY Carbon Filter

  21. I'm looking forward to seeing these ladies in deep flowering.
